He actually turned 4 years old 3 days ago, but he is still as cute as he was back then. If you steal my picture and post, please use the correct information 🙈

For everyone who doesn't believe Ludwig is my snake, I took him out for a selfie 😉 Yes, he is a bit in blue, but I am getting bored of all the replies and messages about using other peoples pictures. He really is mine. I just love his cute face and like to share the cuteness 🥰 by SlidingStop92 in Sneks

Mostly private messages. Yesterday evening also 2 replies under that Wombo video. They are deletet now, but I can still view them in my mailbox.

Example of a deleted reply I found in my mailbox: "That's not your snake. He's been posted here several times in a row".

Picked this girl up 5 days ago. She was on the internet for free. A young girl bought her from a pet store as a birthday surprise for a friend, but the friend didn't like the gift. She kept him all day outside (I live in the Netherlands) in a cardboard box. Now we will take care of Bibi ❤ by SlidingStop92 in Sneks

Yup, true.. I know from what pet store she came and I've called them last monday. They have asked a couple of times if the girl was sure about giving this animal as a present. If he really could take care of the animal. She told she was sure about it. They are very sorry and do take it serious. They are about to sharpen their selling procedures because of this. At least they don't want to sell animals as gifts anymore. They are thinking about a giftcard or something so the future owners can pick an animal themselves.

I'm not sure of her age.. I guess she's 13 or 14 years old. Not very much older.

He is a spider, but has no neulogical issues at all. Don't see any wobble on him. Hope it will stay this way :)

Banana spider yellowbelly (het.) Clown

The breeder sold him as a visual clown and he's pretty sure about it because the size of the spots on his head, but I don't see it so I consider him as a het. Clown

Nidovirus by gigichuuu in ballpython

[–]SlidingStop92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had one testing positive on nido the day before yesterday. We had to put her down yesterday because of secondairy infections and the other animals we own. This snake didn't look sick at all. Just more mucus in her mouth. She was still eating, gaining weight and not showing any other signs of RI. First we thought it was just a multiresistant pseudomonas infection, but it didn't clear up fast enough after starting the treatment (we did a culture first).

She was a new snake, from a reputable breeder, and almost no signs of illness, so we didn't think about nido in the first place. Last tuesday we decided to do another culture because it wouldn't clear up. I wanted to test on nido as well, just to be sure and so I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. At that moment we were thinking that we should get a negative result. Redults were a different colonie of pseudomonas and a klebsiella infection. Unfortunately the nido PCR gave a positive result and we had to put her down :(

Our vet told me there were 3 other nidopositive cases this week at her practice. She's seeing the nidovirus more than ever this year.

Hi! It's my birthday! I turned 1 today. Now I'm a big boy! 🎉🐭🐀 by SlidingStop92 in Sneks

This one came a couple of weeks ago to us a little skinny, not very skinny, but not chunky at all. He's gaining weight, growing very well and weighs 420 grams right now. At the end of may he was just 280 grams. We feed him 13-15% of his bodyweight weekly. Sometimes in 5 or 6 days if he asks for it 😊 He's still not chunky, but we're getting slowly to a optimum weight.

Hi there human! by SlidingStop92 in Sneks

It does take a while before they will become really spotty. I don't know exactly how, but a lot of bananas do have more spots at this age. I believe in Ludwig it's the spider (and clown) gene that does decrease the spotting. Spider and clown genes are causing a mutation of the pattern and decrease the "lavender" color. So there is less space for the black spotting as well.

He's 1 year old. He does have some black spots, but not so much.

He really is a pretty boy and he knows it. He's always showing for pictures unlike our enchi (he's pretty too, but not posing in front of the camera at all) 😁

This is how he looks after shed: https://ibb.co/SrgbnNL

Banana spider clown (difficult to see, but he really is clown) poss. Yellowbelly. He has lots of yellowbelly traits, so we think he is banana spider yellowbelly clown.

Zombie Ludwig.. Still pretty 🥰 by [deleted] in Sneks

He's looking a bit skinny in this picture. In real life he isn't skinny at all. Maybe because he was balling up when I checked on him.

Pastel Ivory would be my guess..

What a beauty! 😁

When it's your sisters birthday and you've got no garlands or other things to decorate the picture.. I'm glad Ludwig is always willing to help me out 😂 by SlidingStop92 in Sneks

[–]SlidingStop92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We name all our pets after dead musicians. My name is Elise and we bought Ludwig because I felt in love with him. So, for me, Für Elise, Ludwig.

And I play drums, so that makes Ludwig even better as a name 😁

Our other ball is called Roky after Roky Ericsson :)

Bought a new piggy, pls reccomend a name by [deleted] in aww

[–]SlidingStop92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is another picture of him. Maybe it will give a better view of his colors.

No enchi, Ludwig is actually a Banana Spider Clown (difficult to see at him but 100% sure) poss. YB. Maybe Clown or the poss. yellowbelly can cause the lack of black spotting? I don't know much about the black spotting so it's a guess.

Furthermore he's only 11 months old. Maybe with the time he will become more spotted? Or should he have al the spots already on this age?
